# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The protein from Greek yogurt keeps you full straight through lunch without any mid-morning crashes
  • Five minutes from cupboard to glass means you cannot talk yourself out of eating breakfast
02 -
  • Frozen fruit makes a thicker smoothie than ice, which just waters everything down as it melts
  • If you add spinach, keep it to a handful or the color turns unappetizingly brownish-green
03 -
  • Start blending on low speed to prevent ingredients from flying up and sticking to the lid
  • If your blender struggles, add liquid first and let it sit for a minute to soften frozen fruit
